I don't know why you think this bug is 'grave'. This does not make your
system unusable (and you've found a workaround), does not cause data
loss, and is not a security hole.

The fact is that ppp is very old software and nobody ever thought about
things like systemd-resolved even existing when the scripts around it
were written. I believe that, as ppp assumes resolvconf, it should be
systemd-resolved's responsibility to configure itself with DNS servers
from PPP. Consequently I will update the 0000usepeerdns script to exit
early (taking no action) if systemd-resolved is running. I'm open to
working with the systemd maintainers to improve on this, though.

For reference, resolvconf does this using:
https://sources.debian.org/src/resolvconf/1.84/debian/resolvconf.000resolvconf.ppp.ip-up/

In my opinion the most sensible way to run pppd these days is through
some kind of abstraction layer such as NetworkManager.

Chris
